Qing Ping Le · Double Songs

Rong Cheng walked out of the No Flower Courtyard and slowly stepped into King Changning's small courtyard, there was a faint voice coming from the room, she stood on the platform and raised her hand to stop the communication.There are many exotic flowers and plants in the small courtyard, some of which were collected by Cunshan during his study tours. They were placed together by King Chang Ning and carefully cared for. She should have seen that her father's kindness to Cunshan did not come from Kindness.

The sound of the door opening called her back, she turned around and bowed to the person who came out, "Greetings to the Princess."

She said, "No."

As soon as she finished speaking, King Chang Ning asked from inside, "Ah Cheng is here?"

"Yes, father."

"Come in." Rong Cheng stepped in and was about to salute, but Chang Ning Wang raised his hand to stop him and said, "Come and sit." Rong Cheng walked over and sat down as he said, the prince looked at her carefully for a while and then asked with a smile, "guessed?"

Rong Cheng also replied with a smile, "Father needs to express it." She saw a clear jade pendant on the table, which was almost the same as the one on Cun Shan's body. related?"

The prince handed the jade pendant to her and said, "Touch and see."

The jade pendant feels cool and delicate to the touch, Rong Cheng touched a small word "Mei" in an imperceptible place, which is the surname of her mother's family, this piece of jade pendant and the one on Cun Shan should be a pair.Surprised, she asked, "Is this mother's? The piece of brother Cunshan's was originally father's?"

"Ah Cheng first tell father how he guessed it?"

"In the palace, the only ones who can avoid Jing Yu's investigation are the father and daughter, but the daughter has never figured out who the father is protecting, so she gave up the investigation and let Jing Yu keep an eye on the father."

The prince smiled heartily, "As expected of my daughter." He looked at Rong Cheng carefully again, and said after a long time, "This piece is a pair with the one on Cunshan, and it is a token from my father to your mother. You My mother has been famous since I was a child, and I admired her for a long time, and I secretly fell in love with her. Later, I concealed my identity and went to the south of the Yangtze River to stay for two years, and this marriage was made." Every time he recalled his dead wife, his heart felt infinitely desolate.

"Father." Rong Cheng comforted, "Mother once said that she would never regret marrying you in this life."

With his daughter's comfort in his ears, the lord was sad for a while, and then said, "Ah Cheng, the shocking secret that my father will tell you next will affect life and death, do you still want to listen?"

Rong Ling said seriously, "Father, please tell me."

"Okay." The prince talked about the unrevealable secret, "It will be a matter of time before the Duke rebelled because of the prince, but he never thought that King Jingyuan would become an accomplice. You must be very clear about the Taishan Rebellion 19 years ago, but things are far away." It's not as simple as what is written in the file. Back then, I went to rescue the emperor with the emperor. The emperor marched very slowly and used many excuses to stop the march. I was puzzled at first, but on the day of the Taishan Rebellion, the emperor was in a hurry. Only after I caught up with the mountain did I suddenly realize what the purpose of Huang Jie is."

"It's no wonder the Duke is obsessed with being the first prince, Zhaoxue." Rong Cheng's brows were furrowed and his words were shocking, "Once King Jingyuan is defeated, the old matter will be brought up again. His Majesty has been sitting on the throne for a long time to whitewash the past, and the conflict will definitely be pointed at the Changning Palace."

"As a father, I also expected this." Chang Ning Wang was very calm. He went back to the past and continued, "Does Ah Cheng know that Shan'er's biological mother was the former concubine at that time? We knew each other, on the day of Mount Tai, I thought about it and couldn't rest assured, so I took the risk and rescued him alone."

Rong Cheng suddenly remembered that she and Cunshan had to drink Tusu wine together after the spring banquet every year because of the mother's custom, but it turned out that it was not a coincidence, their mothers were sisters and their fathers were brothers, no wonder outsiders could tell they were brothers and sisters at a glance, But they are really brothers and sisters, only listen to her father said again.

"That was when she was pregnant with Shaner and was about to give birth. I hid her in a farmhouse at the foot of the mountain and burned all her clothes. After the Taishan Rebellion was settled, the Queen's sister was about to return triumphantly. I didn't dare to stay long to make the Queen's sister suspicious, so I took the jade pendant with me." Leave it to her, let her turn around and ask this family to bring the jade pendant to the capital to find me, but since then I have no news of her mother and son."

The prince's eyes retracted from a distance and then fell on Rong Cheng, "Until the assassination 13 years ago, when he appeared next to you with this jade pendant, I expected this situation would happen today. That jade pendant was not The things in the Prince's Mansion are not from the royal family. The Duke may think that they are just ordinary objects, and Shan'er cherishes them very much and refuses to take them off, so he keeps them with him. But it happens that I recognize him. All of this is God's will, so I Bring Shan'er back to the palace."

"Because of this, your mother recognized him at a glance." Recalling his dead wife, the prince had a smile on his face, "Your mother and the sisters of the former prince and concubine had a deep relationship and admired the former prince as a human being, so although the Taishan chaos I didn’t say much, I was really confused, and your mother is very smart, just look at Cunshan and you have eight points in your heart.” He paused, Fang said, “At that time, you were seriously injured and your life was hanging by a thread. My mother was worried that this retribution would fall on you, so she insisted on leaving the mansion to live alone in Yecheng Temple and began to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha, just to wash away the sins on my body."

"When I was a child, I always wondered why my mother's temperament suddenly changed. It turned out to be rooted here." The mother in Yecheng Temple wore plain clothes all her life, and she always looked at her without saying a word for a long time. She was afraid of it. For a while, no matter how much my father persuaded me, he refused to be alone with my mother for a long time. Now I think it must be a stab in my mother's tormented heart, "Father, you miss your mother."

"If it weren't for these imperial power struggles, how could your mother be depressed." The prince's eyes were red, "Father is ashamed of your mother, and also of you."

Those past events had been accumulated in my heart for too long, and my father was deeply saddened by them. Rong Cheng couldn't bear it, so he changed the subject and said, "I came to see Mr. Xue walking out of it, is my father looking for someone?"

The prince stabilized his emotions and did not hide, "The Duke will not reveal Shan'er's identity, and the followers around Shan'er have also been removed. Now the only person who knows Shan'er's identity is Zhu Heng. I ordered him to find him and kill him quickly. "

She asked again, "How does father plan to arrange brother Cunshan?"

"At this time, it is in the cusp of the storm and it is not appropriate to send him out of the city. After the wind calms down, I want to send him to Yuzhu Zhai and let Mr. Yuzhu take care of him for a while before making any plans."

"Did father ask brother what he meant?"

The prince nodded and said, "He doesn't want to stay in the palace anymore, he is worried that the palace will be implicated, and I can't bear to let him go out of the palace alone. Under the dilemma, he mentioned that he would guard the spirit of your mother and be ordained as a monk."

Rong Cheng lowered his eyes and stopped talking. Although Cunshan's move was unexpected, he was expected. He was supposed to enter the Eastern Palace as the heir apparent, but unfortunately, his fate turned into nothing. He had no choice but to leave the world behind. Love without hate, maybe the rest of my life can be spent peacefully.The sun was setting in the sky, and the camp of the imperial army remembered the dull and depressing sound of horns. The three armies were ready to go, and the battle was about to start.

"Father, I should go too." She stood up and saluted respectfully, saying with relief and sincerity, "Father, please don't blame yourself too much. If father could turn the situation around by himself, he wouldn't have taken the risk to save their mother and son. What the father has done is already a rare thing for a daughter to admire."

The prince instantly had tears in his eyes, and he said, "Your mother said the same thing to me back then, Ah Cheng, it's a good thing God opened his eyes and didn't take you away from me." He calmed down for a while and said, "Go."

"Daughter retire."

Rong Cunshan packed up a few things that Rong Cheng gave him, and wanted to go to Wuhuayuan to say goodbye, but unfortunately he was in vain, he walked out of the courtyard door and walked to the front of Wuxiangyuan, hesitating helplessly for a while .When she was at a loss, Jing Hao walked out of the courtyard, gave a salute first and said, "Miss, please come in." Rong Cunshan was slightly surprised, then raised his heels and went in.

After seeing the ceremony, the two were at a loss for what to say, and they were silent for a long time.Rong Cunshan thought about the purpose of coming here, so he opened his mouth first, "Miss Bai, I hope you will forgive me for coming here." He added, "I came to tell the girl that I will leave the house soon, and hope that the girl will treat you well in the future. Chengmei, don't disappoint Chengmei's sincerity."

The relationship between children and daughters is already unfamiliar to Bai Qingtong, and after hearing Rong Cunshan speak so bluntly, what should I do for a while, she said in a cold voice as usual, "I have an appointment with Ah Cheng earlier, please Don't worry, son."

Rong Cunshan smiled warmly, like a spring breeze, "Before Miss Bai refused to save Lei Chengmei, I once complained about the girl, this time I also came to ask the girl to forgive me."

"Young master." She said, "Ah Cheng regards you as your elder brother and he is very fond of you, why did you leave without coming back?"

"Chengmei's sadness is only for a while, let alone Miss Bai is by her side." He got up and didn't want to say more, and said, "I just hope you can take good care of her in the future, I'll take my leave when it's getting late."

Bai Qingtong got up to greet him and sent him to the door, when she raised her eyes, she happened to see Rong Cheng standing outside the courtyard door, her starry eyes were bright and she smiled slightly, "Is brother here to say goodbye to me?"

He was startled and knew that Rong Cheng knew everything, and then he smiled and said, "Sister Cheng, please stop running around when your father is old, and spend more time with him in the palace from now on."

Rong Cheng looked at him quietly, "Brother, take care."

After Rong Cunshan left, Rong Chengfang said again, "Qingtong, Ah Che and Miss Huang are going to battle, we will send them off."

[-] imperial troops marched from the capital, and the empress went up to the tower to perform for the soldiers. When the flags and the bronze horns sounded, Rong Ling, as the main general, gave the order to kick off the horse's belly and walked out of the city.Dongxia set up a pavilion ten miles outside the city, and those who see off will prepare a few glasses of water and wine in the pavilion for the practice of leaving people, and Rong Cheng and Bai Qingtong have already been waiting in the pavilion.

Xia Feng waited half a mile away for the transmission, and the iron cavalry approached slowly. After Xia Feng saluted, he said, "Princess Anle has placed a few glasses of thin wine in the pavilion for Princess Chang and Princess Qingping to practice."

After hearing this, Rong Ling gave orders, "The generals are waiting here." There was an earth-shattering promise from behind, and she and Rong Che rode towards the long pavilion.

Rong Cheng and Bai Qingtong waited outside the pavilion, and when they saw someone coming, they first saluted, "An Le sees Your Royal Highness the Princess."

Rong Ling raised her brows lightly, and said, "How can you learn Che'er's vain etiquette?"

Rong Che didn't take it seriously and still saluted respectfully, "Greetings to my cousin."

Rong Ling hated the etiquette of the two of them deeply but had no choice but waved her hands and took the lead to step towards the long pavilion. There was a jade pot, a gold cup and a few dishes of small dishes on the stone case, all of which are the characteristics of Nanyang City, and it is inevitable to climb a trace of parting.She was walking in armor, and the cloak behind her was unfurling in the wind. She looked away and sat down on the stone bench, waiting for the two of them to come up.

Rong Cheng and Rong Che slowly climbed up the stairs, and when they reached the stone table, Rong Cheng filled up the four gold cups, and said with a smile, "Rong Cheng is useless and can't join you on the battlefield, so I can only buy wine to see you off again and wish the emperor and Ah Che returned in triumph." After saying that, he drank it down.

The three of them also finished drinking, she smiled and said, "I will buy wine here to congratulate you when you return to the city triumphantly, sister Huang, use some smaller ones."

Rong Ling picked some favorite food and ate a few pieces, Rong Che never took a bite, it was getting late and it was not appropriate to delay any longer, Rong Ling couldn't see that the two of them had to salute in a proper manner, so she stepped off the stone first order.

Rong Cheng had already noticed that Rong Che's face was imperceptibly pale, and his eyes were much darker. She thought of the meeting between Rong Che and the Duke, and also remembered what her father said today, so she said, "Ah Che, some things are inconvenient to delve into, and once you delve into it, you will be stuck in the mud and have no way out."

Rong Che didn't expect Rong Cheng to notice it, so he said, "Cousin, what if the matter you're investigating is revenge for your parents?"

Rong Cheng didn't understand what she said, and she said, "Then I will accompany you to take revenge."

Rong Che smiled faintly, "Then what if this enemy becomes closer to his cousin?"

Just at this moment, Rong Ling turned around to look at them as if feeling something, she both stopped for some reason, Rong Che's eyes met Rong Ling's, and Rong Cheng found that there was something suppressed in Rong Che's eyes. Living in waves, her heart trembled, and a bad premonition arose spontaneously in her heart.

She looked at Rong Che, her eyes filled with a smile that made people feel at ease, "Even so, I will seek justice for you."

Hearing this, Rong Che couldn't believe it. She looked at Rong Cheng's smiling face, and the mist in her eyes cleared, "It is enough to have a cousin. Don't worry, I will take care of myself."

"This trip is dangerous, both you and Miss Huang must take care."

"The same goes for my cousin."

Rong Che burst into a heroic outfit, and every step he took seemed to step on Rong Ling's heart. Rong Che looked strange when he came back from Dali Temple, she didn't know but she shouldn't speak.It wasn't that Rong Cheng and Rong Che were intimate and unreserved, she was afraid that if she opened her mouth, she would not only fail to comfort her, but would annoy her instead.She who has always been decisive can only be so hesitant when dealing with Rong Cheng, and it is difficult to make a decision even if she takes a step back.

Rong Che approached her and said, "Sister Huang, I'm fine, don't worry."

Rong Ling couldn't help smiling wryly, she really knew everything, but she still refused to say anything, she laughed at herself, "It's still Ah Cheng who has the ability to explain you in a few words."

"Emperor sister and cousin are my closest people."

The main general and the deputy general returned to the team to lead the three armies to continue marching. Rong Cheng and Bai Qingtong stayed in the long pavilion for a long time, watching the [-] forbidden troops pass by in front of them, raising a cloud of dust.The setting sun is half hidden among the mountains, and the sunset glow spreads across the sky like blood, and the marching team gradually drifts away, as if swallowed by the red glow of the mountains, leaving only dust billowing.

Rong Cheng looked into the distance until the red sun was sinking, the dust was settled, and not even a trace of marching could be found, then he said, "Qingtong, let's go too."

Bai Qingtong's usual words had a different flavor, and her cool and pleasant voice sounded in Rong Cheng's ears, "The princess and princess will return safely."

Rong Cheng smiled, feeling refreshed like a spring breeze blowing on her face. She looked at Bai Qingtong with clear eyes and said, "Qingtong really understands me better and better."
